Rental Housing

The Rental Inspectors work with property owners, managers, and tenants to ensure conformance with Burlington's Housing Code. This Code establishes minimum health and safety standards that protect and promote the welfare of the tenants and the general public.

All rental properties located within the City of Burlington are required to be inspected on a regular basis. Units are inspected on a 3-year cycle for 3+ unit properties and a 5-year cycle for single-family and duplex properties.
